• Install WinRAR or similar archival application that can open CAB files.
• Locate and Open “Data11.CAB” file from the Shoreware Director installation media.
• Extract Setup.exe1 from “Data11.CAB” (file size should be approximately 443MB).
• Rename Setup.exe1 to Setup.exe.
• Run Setup.exe on remote server.

1. Logon using any local or domain account. If necessary, connect to VPN before or after logging-in.
2. Verify access to domain (i.e., Can you ping a domain controller?)
3. Run the following command from a Command Prompt: runas /user:<domain\user> <executable>
   E.g.: runas /user:corp\johanns notepad.exe
4. Enter user’s password when prompted. 
5. If connection/authentication succeeds, the system will create and/or cache profile/credentials for the target account, and start the application specified by the runas command. At this point, you may exit the app, and logout of the proxy account.
6. Logon using the newly cached credentials.

ShellMediaChangeNotifier class is C++/CLI (why waste time with P/Invoke); while the provided demo is in C#.

Download: ShellMediaChangeNotifier and Demo Application

How-to use:

        ShellMediaChangeNotifier _s = new ShellMediaChangeNotifier();
 
        // Assign the window handle after it's been created.
        _s.Handle = this.Handle;
        _s.Changed += new ShellMediaChangeEventHandler(OnChanged);
 
        protected override void WndProc(ref Message m) {
            ShellMediaChangeNotifier.ProcessWindowsMessages(ref _s, m);
 
            base.WndProc(ref m);
        }
 
        void OnChanged(object sender, ShellMediaChangeEventArgs e) {
            _tbEvents.Text += e.ChangeType.ToString() + " " + e.Path + "\r\n";
        }

The provided project file requires Visual Studio 2005 (with Visual C++ and C# installed), and Windows SDK (used Windows 2003 and Vista SDKs). This code has been tested on Windows XP, 2003, and Vista.

To install, replace “cpp.php” in your GeSHi directory with the attached file.

GeSHi C++ Langauge File with Windows Data Types

You can download the modified batch files here: Dynamips Windows Command Script files

Simply, replace those files in the Dynamips installation folder.

See my previous post for additional details (link).

EDIT: You may also need to give your user Modify or Full control permission over the Dynamips (Dynagen) install folder if you want to be able to modify any file (including the script files). The real pain is when you try to modify the sample lab files (e.g.: simple1.net, etc.).

The Dynagen package installer, installs in %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Program Files\Dynamips.

Dynamips is a Cisco router emulator. It support various Cisco 2600, 3600, 3700, and 7200 series router models.

Dyangen is a front-end for Dynamips router emulator. It utilizes Dynamips’ Hypervisor mode to make lab simulation management very easy.

Installing / Running Dynamips and Dynagen on Windows (XP, 2003, Vista):

• Install WinPcap 4 (Windows Packet Capture Library) from WinPcap.org (link to auto-installer).
• Install the latest version of the Dynamips/Dynagen “package” installer from SourceForge.
  NOTE: April 29th, 2007 build is labeled: dynagen-0.9.2_dynamips-0.2.7-RC3_Win_XP_setup.exe

NOTE: Users with Vista UAC enabled may encounter issue(s) when trying to run Dynamips/Dynagen. Solutions:

1. Disable UAC!
2. Run the Dynamips server and Dynagen as Administrator; however, you must first modify the “dynamips-start.cmd“, “dg-local.cmd“, and “Network device list.cmd” script files, located in the DynMIPS installation folder:
   (e.g.:
   Before: start /belownormal /B /wait “Dynamips” “dynamips.exe” -H 7200
   After : start /belownormal /B /wait /D “\Program files\Dynamips\” “Dynamips” “dynamips.exe” -H 7200
   )
   UPDATE: Check my next blog entry to download the updated startup scripts (.cmd) files.

Quick Start:

The Dynamips/Dynagen installation provides a number of samples to help you get started. The Windows installer places shortcuts to the samples folder on the Desktop and the Start-menu. You can also start any Dynagen lab file (these are files with .net extension) from the Windows shell or a command-prompt [e.g.: dynagen <lab-filename>]. But, before you do start a lab simulation, you must edit the sample lab file to specify the location of the Cisco IOS image that Dynamips should boot.

(e.g.:
- Navigate to Simple1 located in Dynamips samples folder (default: \Program Files\Dynamips\sample_labs\simple1)
- “Open with…” Notepad (or WordPad) Simple1.net
- Locate the following line:

image = \Program Files\Dynamips\images\c7200-jk9o3s-mz.124-7a.image

- Replace the path/filename with a valid Cisco IOS file location (e.g.: image = C:\labs\bin\c7200-is-mz.124-13b.bin)
NOTE: SmartNET customer can download IOS images from Cisco (http://www.cisco.com/public/sw-center/).
)

Booting:

1. Start Dynamips server (Start -> Dynamips -> Dynamip server)
   …or
   Run: dynamips-start.cmd (located in Dynamips installation folder)
   NOTE: Dynamips installation is setup to bind localhost:7200 (TCP); be sure to allow connections on this port.
2. Start the lab simulation by opening (double-click) the lab file (e.g.: Simple1.net) from Windows shell

By this point, you should see two console application windows (see image on the left). You can control the status of your emulated router by entering commands into the Dynagen application prompt (i.e., =>).

Dynagen basic commands: help, list, console, start, stop, suspend, resume, exit

Most commands require that you supply a router name (as shown by the list command), or the /all parameter to apply the desired command to all emulated routers (e.g.: start Router1 -or- start /all).

To access the console port of your emulate router, use the console command (syntax: console <routername> -or- console /all).
